EPFO 3.0 Rollout Delayed: ATM, UPI Withdrawals Pending
The EPFO 3.0 system, which was supposed to let people take out their PF money using ATMs or UPI, is delayed.
Right now, you still need to fill out forms to get your PF money, which can take a long time.
The new system was supposed to make things easier, like letting you take out money anytime and increasing the limits for things like education and marriage.
But the exact date when you can use ATMs or UPI to take out your PF money hasn't been announced yet.
The new system will also make it easier to apply for claims online and keep track of your PF account.
EPFO 3.0 rollout is delayed, with no official date for ATM and UPI withdrawals.
New rules simplify EPF claims and offer higher withdrawal limits for education and marriage.
Minimum service period for partial withdrawals reduced to 12 months.
Members must maintain 25% of contributions as a minimum balance to preserve retirement corpus.
The entire claim process will be document-free and 100% auto-settled.
